Ignore the ones in .gitignore as well

[smorimoto]

Basically, what you're adding to the .gitignore file is something you don't need to format. Adding them explicitly to the ignore field is a lot of effort, and ignoring them by default means you don't have to worry about synchronising them always.

Actually, Prettier does that, but ESLint doesn't... which also means that if Biome does that, it will be a brilliant ESLint! 🙂

Biome supports this via the vcs options.

{
	"vcs": {
		"enabled": true,
		"clientKind": "git",
		"useIgnoreFile": true
	},
}

@Conaclos Hmm, it does not handle nested .gitignore, right? I believe that should take care of.

Also, the first one works, but the next one does not. But both are valid ignore files.

There's an issue that was filed by someone else.

We plan to fix that, we already have an issue where we plan to use the ignore crate

Fantastic!

[Psycarlo]

Awesome 🚀

Biome should support nested .gitignores too

[Conaclos]

We are working on the infra that could allow this.
